Welcome to Gaia! ::

When you are doing HTML, the code for ordered (in the example) and unordered (ul instead of ol) lists looks like this:




In BBC code, you get the lists by using this:




The above is an unordered list. To get an ordered list with BBC code, I believe you have to do this:




Numbers can also be used instead of letters (

). If you make a list in your about section, then view the source code, you can see where it has taken the BBC code and translated it into the HTML code.

Once you have the list in your about section, you can move it where you'd like using css:



Does that help?

Great. biggrin

Don't feel bad about that. I never made the connection myself until they started doing the customizable profiles. I kept losing the indent on my own lists and discovered it when I was looking for a way to get it back.

Edit: I love your profile layout, by the way. It's got such a clean look to it.

In your about section, make a list. The first example is an ordered list (which you'd be better off using) and an unordered list (which makes things more complicated since the about links are also an unordered list).




Also, note that you do not have to use

when making this list. Just putting the content that you want to be in your new section betwen [ list ] and [ /list ] (minus the spaces) will work as well.

Then, in your CSS coding, you adjust the properties of your list with this code (ordered list code first, unordered list code second):

#about ol {CODE}

#about ul {CODE}

I hope that was clear enough.

Yes. Position: relative; or position: absolute; lets you move them anywhere you want them, even outside the about section.

I've seem to have gotten it out of my About section. But now I have no idea where abouts it is. Also, is there a code to put it to the left of the profile beside the other sections?

Thank you so much for making this! heart It's been way helpful! 3nodding

I'm trying to do this myself.

What I hope to do is make a quilt section in my profile, where the details section would be. I tried following the directions you guys gave several times, but I think it's above my head. Im not doing something right.

Would it be to much trouble for someone to give me the base code that would let me replace whats inside my details section, so that I can put my quilt there?

That way I could play with it myself untill I figured out what I wad doing. That or any explantion would be much appretiated. I'll continue to try doing what you have said, but so far am hainvg no luck.

Thanks in advance. heart
